Really sad, RIP. I don't quite understand how he got pinned by his own car though.



Huh??? did he get out of the car, didn't put the handbrake on and it rolled into him?

"Yelchin was found at his home pinned by his own vehicle and a brick mailbox early Sunday morning. The police do not suspect any foul play was involved."

I'm not sure how fast the vehicle would have to be rolling or how heavy the vehicle would have to be to crush someone to death at a slow speed.... I'm very confused at how this could happen...



Damn... RIP, he was very talented.
I would also like to understand how he was found dead between his car and a mailbox.... That.. doesn't seem a like a natural accident to me..



Rest in Peace. That's sad, he was so young.

:(

That sucks.



That really sucks.

Being "pinned by his own car" sounds like a terrible way to go too. :/



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

My friend just texted me the news :(

So young...it's just so sad.

Rest in peace.



That it sad. Rest in peace.

What a strange accident.
